You'd roughly need to:

- Figure out which program is currently focused
- Figure out the Git repo of this software
- Clone it into a temporary directory
- Set up the required tools to start hacking on it and compile it

As a quick prototype, I wrote a li'l Bash script that does some of these things. It makes heavy use of #nix and #nixpkgs:

I enters a "dev shell" with the required tools already in the PATH, and even sets up a Git remote to start contributing. :D

There's a standard gag about LLM chatbots: whenever I use AI to probe a topic I know something about, it makes numerous errors; by contrast, whenever I use it to explore topics I know little about, it knows so much more!

Unrelated: while workers report or are measured to have at best modest improvements to their work when using AI, CEOs and managers say AI has many benefits to the work of their organisation.

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

I've had a theory for a few years that most software engineers don't actually like software engineering. Had there not been money in it they would have followed a different career path instead of getting a CS degree from a 4-year college (or boot camps).

LLMs align with this theory. The people who are excited that something else is doing their job for them are the same people who picked the job for the salary, not the joy.
